ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 21 /MidnightOutpost.com/ "Where can I go? Now this is a place to go when there is no other place to go at midnight.”– About MidnightOutpost.–About MidnightOutpost is also a history of me and why I had a place that anyone could spend the night or stay for a short period of time even without paying me rent. Now if you needed a place to stay for a long period of time then I expected some rent money (usually the same amount as the electric bill).

When I was 8 years old, I was almost killed by the person that I called Mother. This was my natural grandmother. My granddad probably stopped her. This was in the 1950's. A time when men usually got custody of the children in a divorce because they usually had the money to support them. Later the legal system(s) decided that they were not getting their fair portion of this child support money and decided to give custody primarily to women (who'd pay them for that, in the 1950's men did not!). This, of course, was all in the best interest of the child. Humph!

In my early 20's I had met someone that I had decided would become my wife if she wanted! She agreed. Then I met my first soul mate! We are still in love to this day although we are not together. This almost caused me to cancel my wedding to my wife. My soul mate was already engaged to someone else at that time also. We had long discussions about what we were going to do! I wanted her and she wanted me. Me, my soul mate and my fiancée all knew each other. And knew what was going on. I decided to keep my word to what is now my ex-wife. That decision turned out to be wrong. I went to the one that was jealous. From that I learned “if she is jealous, then this person is wrong for me.” Another thing I learned from this is to NEVER give my word to someone about what I will do. Another thing that I learned for this is “always follow my heart.”

Later I wed the person that was to become my wife. All was good for a while. Then we made our FIRST visit to her parents as a couple. After that visit things started to go wrong and almost 21 years later she filed for divorce. What happened to her at her parents – She used to have a saying after we were married, “now it is legal”. hm... I never again heard that saying after that FIRST visit to her parents.

Also, my ex-wife forgot the movie that we went to on our first date. She remembers Poseidon Adventure . It was Airplane ! Why did my ex-wife “forget” this movie? Did my ex-wife have another date with her then ex-boyfriend, to decide if she really wanted to leave him, and do something that she considered illegal? hm... I believe so, since I know some of his friends – my ex-wife didn't know that I knew them. I met them later in my life. Ex-wife, why didn't you keep things in the open, like I did with my soul mate, wouldn't that keep issues to a minimum with you? Maybe you want issues!

Forward a few years and because of my heritage I was becoming interested in the stock market. I wanted to invest in gold mining stocks. Me and my wife were discussing this on the way home from visiting my parents (natural grandparents). My wife said “I want no part of that, so you do it with your own money”. This shocked me because I did not know there was my money (and her money) so I asked her to identify “my” money which she did. Later at divorce she must have convinced the judge that this original investment was all her money and she deserved the now over $300,000 that my original $500 investment had returned! I was allowed to have only about $25,000 of it. “Little” of the judge to decide that, do you agree?” But I got custody of my daughter(whom I was doing the lions share of raising) during the school year. At a later court date I had a little over $200,000 from my investment decisions which I was not allowed to keep again. hm... I decided that my ex-wife and this judge hate an honest living.

Now I have only a $2,500 credit limit on one credit card! I borrow it all and again make stock selection my way of earning. Approximately 2 years later we're at court again, now my ex-wife wanting custody of my daughter. My ex wife had manipulated her grades at school saying it was my fault. Her own evidence showed that these bad grades happened when she was with her. That evidence come up missing somehow. But my ex-wife got custody (my daughter is now 17 years old) and my now $137,000 investment was to go to my ex-wife! I get NONE of this money. And my daughters custodial account (now over $100,000 and in my daughters name! She is now over 14 years old and in her own tax bracket.) was to be given to my ex-wife. What was the tax treatment of this, IRS? This “little” judge must not be getting his fair share of mine and my daughter honest living! Humph! I file a tax return for this year although I didn't have any INCOME or Realized Capital Gains. It was taken from me by a “little” judge. I tell the IRS this and in repeated multiple conversations with them I give them the documentation that they say that they need. And I am assured that I owe no taxes on this!

I handed over my brokerage account statements to my Conway lawyer as ordered. Judge could not enforce his order for me to sell the stock – that would have put me in a tax bracket and I was not in one. One must voluntarily go into a tax bracket. No one can be ordered to pay new (or more) taxes which are not NOW already honestly being paid.

I go to the Alabama state bar to fire this lawyer, among other things he does not disclose that he collect foreclosures for a bank that I have a loan against my home that the bank for some reason does not keep their word and contract to my line of credit limit, Judge can't order me into a tax bracket and this lawyer is not defending me. Alabama state bar president tells me to go back to this lawyer! How corrupt is this – their offices are within 2 blocks of each other. hm.. Remember I wanted to FIRE this lawyer because he is ready to bill me for more money and will not quit.

So, I go to a buddy for help. Our wifes (he is divorced from her now) used to work in the same department of a local hospital. He used to be a tax lawyer and is now CEO of Movie Gallery, a public corporation. We talked about Movie Gallery before he opened it at parties attended by our now ex-wifes. I was not close enough for him to include me in on the ground floor of Movie Gallery however. hm..

I tell him the situation and ask what lawyer I should choose now. He recommends one, His. I tell this lawyer all I have now is $750 and this is all that I can pay him. I don't want legal representation if I need to pay you more money. Lawyer agrees. This is when the “little” judge gives custody of my daughter to my ex-wife and orders child support for me to pay. What my ex-wife owes me is forgiven. I have enough to pay my ex-wife the child support that is ordered for me to pay, and pay her all except what the NEW lawyer wants – next visit to this lawyer, lawyers wants more money. I remind him of him agreeing to $750 total. So I leave the area! I give a letter to my ex-wife saying that all the money that I had was taken from me just like she wanted and I'll pay her the remaining child support when I get the money.

Before I leave the area is when I had a place to stay when no other place was available. This was used mostly by young women (21 -25 years old). Some of these women were “run a ways” from their previous (growing up, raised in)home. Most people knew them by their public name, I knew their real name. They were leaving an abusive environment and often I got phone calls from the parents of these adult men and women, insisting that I must listen to them and return these adults to them. HUMPH! I thanked them for their objective opinion and told them, “In this state these people are considered adults!” I also let them know that they were free to seek “LEGAL” help from their locale to require this state to have them returned! Some of these are now former mommas girls who now refuse to deliver mommas objective to her. Their belief now is that momma should acquire her own objective! Maybe this is why I love a momma gurl that appears to be curable and become herself! Please see “Mommas Gurl Now Becomes Girl”.

Another place some of the women came from was the local government supported “batter women” facility – “The House of Ruth.” Some of them said that it was just as mentally and verbally abusive as their home although not physically abusive. One question that I got from a women was, “How do I report abuse when, the person that is abusing me is who I'm suppose to report it to?” HM... My answer was, “when they are abusing you BE IN PUBLIC VIEW!” The bigger the audience the better! Somehow, after knowing this, they got kicked out of their home or “The House of Ruth.”

Some men of primarily the same age used it as well. They were from an abusive “growing up” home as well. There was no local batter man facility! One man in particular became my best friend for a while. His Dad was abusive and even got into a physical fight with him and by this time my friend had learned to not fight back! His dad was a preacher (in the Christian religion)! He could not get in the public view while this was happening. We DID go into public view with his bruises and more. He still maintains to the last day he talked to me that his mother was worse! Of the hundreds of people that were abused and stayed in “my safe house,” THIS MANS DAD IS THE ONLY MAN that was ever accused of abuse! WOW! Many abused and yet, NO other MAN. hm...

I guess those that stay in the government supported facility maintain that the popular preconceived (and mommas gurl taught) prejudice is the correct belief to have! Maybe this opinion gets government subsides of some sort! hm...

The local government was my biggest enemy to having this house although I supported “my safe house” solely with my own personal investments, I got NO government grants, loans, NO INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS, or any other government money for doing this. I did not advertise this facility yet it was better known than “The House of Ruth.” Most of the people that stayed the full term at “my safe house” made it on their own and now avoid the abusers!

I believed that this kind of facility is needed. I still do! So, why did that local government decide that they would shut me down? Why don't I have enough money to have it now in Orlando, FL. hm... God is confusing to me. I believe that ideas, dreams, desires etc. come from god and are achievable. So, why does god prevent me from having them?

One of my favorite books, The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason says, “In a just society you are allowed to keep what you honestly earn.” So, I must not have been in a just society.

Cuba looks like a friendly government to me.

I move to Orlando, FL working at Universal Studios. I can keep my beard while working there. At Disney I'd have to shave. Besides My daughter tells me that she will tell the judge that she “wants to live with me and NEVER see momma again” at the Spinning Universal Globe at the entrance to that theme park (this was when my ex-wife manipulated my daughters grades at school – I find out later).

After my daughter is over 18 years old, living own her own in a different state – Universal starts taking CHILD SUPPORT from my pay check. They don't give me the information to find out what is going one either. After this child support money is deducted from my pay I can buy food, live in my car but not have a place to live. So I quit and move to Marianna, FL (a friend, I thought, was asking me to move anyway without knowing what was going on with me and child support).

I finally find out that Montgomery, Alabama is getting the child support money. So I ask what is this about. I'm told that I owe 2 child supports $7500 and $4000. I only owed my ex-wife about $600! Now less than a year later I owe over $11,000. (back dated court documents that never got to me, I suppose – hm...) I suppose the governments fair share has increased.

My friend now wants me to leave so I go to live with my daughter in Atlanta. I work at Target there. Somehow, I don't owe child support now! hm..

My daughter wants me to leave now. So I move back to Orlando, FL. Just beginning making my living advertising for eBay at MidnightOutpost.com. This is about $1500 a month before business expenses. Now it appears that I can make it.

That is when eBay changes from Commission Junction for their affiliate advertising to themselves!

They don't approve me to be an advertiser for them with this new way of doing things. What? I've delivered to eBay over $1.5 million dollars in sales and they NOW don't want me to continue doing this! WOW! I doubt that I'll buy stock in eBay. Well, I've made $1500 for 5 months. Just as I get my debts paid off, I see that this will soon end.

This money runs out and I return to work at Universal Orlando. Child support is not deducted immediately but soon starts again. I'm already living at the Salvation Army Mens Homeless shelter! Then I get an IRS bill for back taxes of $200,000 owed! WOW! For the year that $137,000 was taken from me (see above). I didn't make but $137,000 from my original $2500 investment but I now owe over $200,000 for the year that the IRS has already assured me that they have the documentation that I owe no taxes. Isn't this double taxation?

Cuba looks like a friendly government to me.

So I ask off during the weekday at Universal to go to the IRS local office and to find a lawyer for the child support issue. Free lawyer service doesn't handle this kind of issue of child support, only to LOWER what child support that I must pay. Not when it is taken unjustly! hm...IRS seems to have lost the documentation that was once all that they needed (CEO of Movie Gallery and moved his permanent resident to FL [where, in bankruptcy, it will not be taken away from him.] while he runs Movie Gallery into the ground after taking over Hollywood Entertainment so that the banks can have possession of it in that bankruptcy. It is again (02/21/10) now in bankruptcy for the second time! And the CEO that I knew is not a part of it and as far as I know living retired in FL) Remember this is the person that recommends my last lawyer to me. hm...

IRS, remember he used to be a tax lawyer. So he is in the clique!

And we are all OK with this?

I have moved out of the Salvation Army Mens Homeless Shelter to a place that cost less. I have developed severe arthritis and Dr. says that I need a hip replacement. The Insurance company “Florida Hospital Healthcare System” in Orlando, FL is still investigation whether or not this is a preexisting condition for almost the whole fist year of coverage, and will not pay for the hip replacement. This was diagnosed after I get insurance. In the clique with the insurance regulators aren't they?

Government and ALL those associated with it are here to help us! The healthcare bill will fix this sort of problem! Riigghhttt!

Cuba looks like a friendly government to me.

I can work one game now (I'm a gamekeeper at Universal) with the health issue that developed. I bring home enough to pay rent and buy food and have about $5 a week to save. They won't accommodate my condition at work, although other people seem to get their lesser condition more than compensated for. I'm confident that when the manager returns from his temporary assignment that he'll want to get rid of me although I have taken an almost worst performing game and made it consistently in the top 5 games, sometimes the number 1 game. Ya see, I did it by NOT following what the highly paid consultant said to do, that is supposed to know what they are doing, and supposedly helping Universal. Doing what the consultant said do got it to the almost worst game there.

MidnightOutpost.com has been:

• a web site design company

• an affiliate advertising company

• a web site design company

• an on line retailer for a drop shipper

• a web site design company

• an on line DVD retailer/wholesaler

And now this, none of the above made money! The Universe (god) is telling me that these were not right for me. I don't know the future. So, I'll see if this is the right thing to do now.

I can help others ONLY with an excess that I have when I give the help. If it is not an excess then I need it. I believe that I have an excess:

• Belief in god

• Stock market knowledge

• Business knowledge

• Computer knowledge

• System Analysis and Design knowledge

• Web design knowledge

• Relationship knowledge

• Space in my rented room for 1 (the right) person Sharing it

• $5.00 a week (some, not most, some weeks)

• belief that Cuba looks like a friendly government to me

My comments on my excesses,

God has plenty of time to fix everything (to align with what, I believe, god gave me belief in). I can have what I want (in this lifetime) without the universe collapsing! Maybe.

I love the stock market and making a living doing stock market things – this is not work to me.

Operating a Business is OK – I like other things more.

I don't like doing technical computer things now!

I believe that, I'll love being in the right relationship and sharing my room with her (preferably a motor home or houseboat/yacht)!

$5.00 a week seems too little to have to save...

Cuba is really not friendly, if I'd been in a just society. (compared to what has happened to me, I've seen NO news reports this bad about people in Cuba – there Cuba doesn't insist upon the government getting more than which is rightfully yours [if there were NO government] or more than you honestly earn! hm...).

Maybe I need to remove “Relationship knowledge” from the list. It still looks like I can fix everyones relationship except mine! Well, now I may have another opportunity to again go to those that care for me already.

These are the people that are close to me:

• My daughter (23 years old) seems insistent upon her self-destruction while not talking to me.

• My best friend (29 years old) seems insistent upon her self-destruction while pushing me away and me easily leaving – saying that I'll be here for her if she ever needs me, wants me, or needs me to be there for her. I Love Her and Maybe she'll come to me. I want that.

I've done all that I can to stop their self-destruction. I'll do more when I can see what to do.
I don't plan to help either of them with their self-destruction. They must do this on their own. I guess that they may never learn that the people that they are running to seems to want to help them self-destruct! God must have a plan that I don't understand! I'll be there for both in the aftermath of their self-destruction – if they survive. I'd rather they not self-destruct and not be an aftermath. God, so far, has not granted me in this lifetime with what I want, very often.

• My next closest person is a man (47 years old) and seems to remain constant and is there caring for himself and me.

• My next closest person is a woman moving to the middle east. (I'll love it when she gets back, she'll be 22 years old then, our conversations flow as though we've known each other longer than this lifetime, although I get no inclination that she is a soul mate). I'm 58 years old. She says that she learns from me. Well, I learn from her! She had the best advice for me to do, that I've gotten about my best friend. (Now this person is not talking to me! She is talking to others at work where she used to work (with me at Universal). I thought that we were better friends than this! Before I knew this, this person could have become my number 1 best friend with my (current) best friend acting the way she is right now! I still want this person as a friend, maybe she will talk to me soon. If she doesn't want to talk to me now, well, I'm easy to push away or even run away from!

• My next closest person is a woman at work. She is 25 years old. We almost only talk there. Our conversations flow almost as good. She is helping me with my best friend also.

• My next closest person is a man (37 years old) at work. I believe that he is going to self-destruct too. I've let him know that I'll be here for him. He is interested in stocks, owns stocks, and he listens to me when I recommend a stock. He wants sound bite answers though. Therefore, he doesn't let me talk that much.

• My next closest person is a woman (35 years old – the oldest woman in my group of friends) at work. She blocks out all people sometime by dominating the talk. When she is not doing this she is pretty good to talk and listen to.

• There is one person that talks to me (73 years old) at work. She likes me and she is alright with me although I don't like (romantically) her. She looks OK, it is just not there romantically. We don't have much in common but she tolerates me and she is enjoyable to talk to and listen to.

• My next closest person is a man (I don't know his age). He is a fisherman and this is what we have in common. We talk occasionally at work.

• My next closest person is a man. (22 years old). He helps me. I help him when I can. He is moving away from me by working somewhere else and not staying in contact with me.

• Woman on the bus (she works close to my work at Universal and her work at is at Hyatt- She's has just made it into my “group of friends.” I believe that she is deciding whether or not she is going to be with the person that was her most recent boyfriend, and he may remain such). (she is 28 years old – just had a birthday). We talk lots when we are on the bus. Almost never when we are not on the bus. She wants to go to the theme parks and I WANT us to go together. If she text me, starts the conversations when not on the bus and continues to talk to/with me, is trusting me, stays truthful with me, is open and honest, she will rapidly make it very well into my group of friends. I want more with her. Lots more. Maybe even her becoming my Best Friend! This person can, with my closest friends acting as they are now, move to my Number One best friend (bonding pair, couple, girl friend, best friend) if she is what she appears to be, is truthful with me and does not go to and remain exclusively with her ex-boyfriend as her now boy-friend. Even if she does she can become a very good or even a great friend. She seems to know that I care for her and I believe that she cares for me!

These are the people that I consider in my “Group of Friends”.

There are people that I'd love to be closer to me(and these people could move into my “group of friends”):

• Person that I'd talk to (approx. 30 years old) while waiting to talk to my best friend at her work. She wants to be in the legal profession so we are not compatible. She is pretty, interesting and I like her although she wants to be in the legal profession (UGH!). (I used to want to be a cop, now no more. So there is hope for her). I want lots more with her, LOTS MORE.

• Young woman that works across the lake at work. She wants to be a Dr. and is going to school to do that. She often speaks to me and talks sometimes. I want more with her. Lots more!

• young woman that works at the store next to the game that I operate at work.

• young woman that works at the store next to the game that I operate at work.
  No this is not a duplicate. There are two of them. We speak and talk occasionally. I want more with both of them.

• Young woman that works across the lake at work. She often speaks to me. She “reminds” me of someone that used to be in my “group of friends” in another place. I want more.

  These people are in their late teens and/or early 20's. I feel close to all of these people already.

• Young woman that works across the lake at work. She often speaks to me. I want more.

  She is also in her late teens and/or early 20's.

I'd like to know if what I already believe about these people is true and are they beating my expectations of themselves.

Daughter and best friend, I go to people that care for me already. (They will not help with self-destruction.) Can you say the same?

Peanuts has become my favorite comic!
Never believe/trust Lucy. Never believe/trust Snoopy.
